>> the president speaking last night in newtown, connecticut. he did not specifically say he would call for stricter controls on heavy weapons like the ar 15 rifle lanza used. but it's clear he is heading in that direction. but before congress takes any action, it should study the situations in eastern europe and russia where most guns are banned. hasn't cut down on gun violence, however. as those countries have a higher murder rate than the usa. also the gun murder rate here in america has almost been cut in half in the past 20 years. talking points wants a sane country with smart public safety measures. do we need semiautomatic rifles to be easily available? that's a worthy debate. and there are strong points on each side. clearly we the people, have to take a tough look at our violent society and find some effective solutions without violating constitutional rights. a very difficult situation, but we have to try. that's a memo. now for the top story, reaction. joinings from phoenix, alan gottlieb, founder of the second amendment foundation, n

we'll go back to connecticut shortly. but first in "the factor" follow-up tonight, the talking points memo. mexico insulting every single american citizen. 27-year-old jon hammer, former marine lance corporal from florida, remains remains in a mn prison charged with gun possession. the charge is totally bogus. last summer he registered an antique shotgun, handed down to him from his great grandfather with american customs officials in brownsville, texas. he was then told by the american agents to take the paperwork across the border to mexican officials and he would be fine to travel on to costa rica for a hunting trip. when he did check in with the mexicans in matamoros, he was promptly arrested and charged with carrying a deadly weapon. that was last august. despite many attempts by the u.s. government to get him released, mexico will not do it. so he sits in a filthy prison ten days before christmas. that's simply unacceptable. everybody knows corporal hammer did nothing wrong. so why doesn't mexico just release him in
